Abstract: This volume collects together chapters concerned with ecologies of language and learning. The study of language ecology is the study of diversity within specific socio-political setting where the processes of language use create, reflect and challenge particular hierarchies and hegemonies, however transient these might be. It will be at once apparent that all of the themes above (Language, literacy and learning) are central to our understanding of education and an ecological perspective demands a particular view of education and classroom practice as situated and localized. However, it also views these schools and classrooms and their interactive practices a part of a bigger and more powerful political state in which ideologies function to reproduce particular balances of power. It is not surprising then that many of the chapters in this volume start small and describe big with authors reporting on how an ecological perspective provides researchers and practitioners with the means to argue for political right and challenge prevailing views of knowledge and patterns of schooling. Many of the chapters in this volume are overtly ‘political’ in arguing for the ‘rearrangement of power’ (López) in support of minority and indigenous groups. This interest in counter hegemony is also apparent in seemingly less political debates such as new and community literacies where we see how people use new technologies and existing resources to create new diversity in their literacy and oral practice.
